Mr. O'Carroll is carrying out a tour to all Australian capital cities and was in Perth for only five days. Mr. O'Carroll was introduced to the Legiona-ies by Bishop M. McKeon, who prior to his consecration was Spiritual Director of the C omitium in Perth.
On The Fringe His Lordship said that the apostolate to those on the fringe of Catholicism had always been a Legion task. said that a zealous He Legionary should always be trying to fulfil the directive Oil the late Holy Father, who said that all Legionaries have an obligation to labour zealously and energetically towards the building of the Mysical Body of Christ. In address to the members, Mr. O'Carroll said that in the 42 years of its existence. the Legion had spread to 150 countries and been approved by about 1,500 Bistops. He said that the Legion could now boast of being a coloured organisation because there were more of other races 3.-..tive in the Legion of Mary than white races.
Not An Elite He said the Legion was not an elite, it incorporated every member and class of society and that it v:as for the average Catholic. Mr. O'Carroll stressed the Point that normal Catholicism should be an exciting thing from every point of view —its doctrine, prayer, devotion and action.

Legion Handbook came about.. He said that nothing had been put on paper for t he first seven years. Methods were tried out and changed to suit conditions. He stressed that the Handbook is continually under e xamination and revision lest methods which even proved satisfactory in the past should be regarded as sacrosanct and embalmed. Mr .O'Carroll pointed eut that the Legion, setting out to unite its members closely with the Church for their sanctification, constantly sot the vision before them of a world of 2,900 million people of whom less than one-fifth were Catholics; of a problem like South America, where one-third of the world's Catholic population lives and where there is a fantastic shortage of priests.

Great Courage "The Legion is not a falsely pious organisation. It calls for great courage, both spiritual and physical, and should appeal to the manly man," said Mr. O'Carroll. He said that in Australia a great step had been taken in the setting up of a second Senatus (regional governing council) in Sydney. This would enable the Legion to get down to the big problems facing the Church—the conversion of the non-Catholic. the absorption of the New Australian. catechetical instruction. For these tasks. Legionaries must use all their talents, initiative, thinking, imagination, planning.

Huge Task Dr. O'Hara, now Apostolic Delegate to . Great Britain, addressing Legionaries on one occasion, said: "God has no hands but your hands, no feet but you; feet, no voice but your voice." Mr. O'Carrall concluded his address by saying that the . hands, feet and voices are working in 150 countries with approximately one million Legionaries but the potential membership of the Legion is the Catholic population of the world and the potential membership of the Church is the world r apulation of 2,900 millions.
